Absolutely loving this show and hoping we get another season. So cool to get a weekly episode of a cooking show I can enjoy as a vegan. It’s making my morning!

[@pureplantgoodness]

Yer it makes a change not having to think... 'ooh that looks great, how can I make it vegan' 😂😂

[@marioc63]

I love the idea that it's about veganism but the writing is less than stellar and the production quality is not good. Plus, why call these home cooks (at best) "chefs"? It needs to grow and get better, and I am here for it.

[@Muircure]

100% 🙏

[@luvlivefoods]

Definitely needs many more seasons. Finally, a plant based cooking competition!

[@katsweeterly2039]

And better mics, maybe even individual ones....could not imagine this on headphones, sadly.

[@meman6964]

Next season, pls new emcee. No loose hair on anyone working in a kitchen

[@Rat__Wife]

I have one note: I wish the music was quieter during critiques

[@DottyDelightful]

Yes me too it’s super off putting

[@meman6964]

Quieter all the time. Doesn't fit what is on screen

[@tobynsaunders]

The judge getting teary eyed when sending home the loser is *so* vegan, and I love it. That. Show. Is. Fucking. Great. And I love that the language isn't censored! That's a minor detail that matters to me!

[@Momma_Tomma]

Censorship of curse words shouldn't be an issue. Not everybody likes hearing vulgar language. You can talk without swearing. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@sagearbor9414]

@@Momma_Tomma it’s also nice to hear people/experts talk completely unfiltered. Good ideas get lost if everyone has to consider the censorship and besides curse words are just regular language

[@taroakita]

RuPaul got teary her first season too, now she's 20+ seasons in, Chad is a naturally great host😊

[@katsweeterly2039]

As European I fully agree. Censorship is weird.😂

[@tobynsaunders]

@@taroakita RePaul is (openly) a man who caricatures as a woman for entertainment. We don't need to pretend that he is actually a woman.

[@Chelsea-r8z]

THIS WAS SO GOOD! Catie was an incredible guest judge!!!

[@sourdoughsavant22]

I was thinking the same thing, this episode actually felt like a show because of her. She should host next season!

[@drunkvegangal8089]

If this concept goes forward, she should be a regular judge on a panel of 2 or 3 with the occasional guest judge. The world needs more Catie. EDIT: and the world needs to know that non-vegans are also welcome to eat and enjoy vegan food!

[@bgrune1]

Heat is not something that should be the make or break. Some people like spicy, some don't and what's spicy for one person is not for another.

[@quantumelectrodynamics8331]

exactly! agreed!

[@drunkvegangal8089]

Put a from-scratch hot sauce/chutney on the side and invite people to use it if the dish is not hot enough for them.

[@bgrune1]

Cool show but these contestants shouldn't have to worry about sharing equipment.

[@msjkramey]

I agree but who knows how much funding they have

[@Justcetriyaart]

​@@msjkramey well, it's not like they couldn't just grab 2, 30$ blenders

[@brandonmoore_]

This was a fun one! Loved the theme and the guest judge stole the show.. Once you go plant, meat you can't 😂

[@someguy2135]

Only 239 beans in your chili!

[@teodorak7573]

So cool to see a vegan cooking show!! Hope to see it succeed. Can I suggest to maybe tone down the intensity of the background music a bit in future iterations it’s a little distracting from the dialogue and is a bit too dramatic at times. Otherwise this is awesome! ☺️

[@Dirdli]

Yes, I totally agree, I had to turn on the subtitles because the background music was overpowering the dialogue. Hope more seasons will come, because this is a show I have been waiting for. I can finally see a cooking show full of passion and be inspired to make something similar myself. Do you post the recipes somewhere, I would love them :)

[@gabrielgauthier9608]

also agree with the music being quite annoying and distracting but the show is great, I wish there were more veg cooking competitions

[@jsolethedj]

This show is very well made,,,production is tight,,,Chad is a great host, the contestants are awesome,,great dishes, no belittling of one another,,,,,,I am hooked on this show!

[@tat.fl0cker]

Bring on season 2 🎉I love Top Vegan!!!! 🍆🥥🥑🌶🧅🧄🍄🫚

[@laredawilder2806]

If they would offer us the recipes used to create these masterpieces it would be much appreciated 😊

[@katieflennery7662]

I really liked the judge in this episode. Definitely the best episode so far. I hate spicy food so I do get tired of that criticism, to make things more hot.

[@MaryDavidson911]

I really LOVE❤ this show….. I did struggle to hear the dialogue sometimes, it’s as if the sound designer needs to dial back the background music when some of the people are talking. Not a huge deal but thought I would mention it

[@LoganSolana]

Thanks for the feedback, Mary! 😊 The Top Vegan team loves our fans 🎉

[@katsweeterly2039]

Struggling with sensory overload, i agree, especially around 4:56 and forth with the guitar riffs...

[@heyhon3607]

Definitely! That music has to go!

[@Spursagtc]

Loving this series! Please turn the volume of the background music down though.

[@emmahardesty4330]

Glad to see this series. Wish we could see more food close-ups, actual chopping & blending & cooking; less non-food shots. Please.

[@BradleyBroom]

Great episode. I really like the show's vibe and the kindness and respect between the contestants.

[@prizzle]

I actually like how critical chef Catie was made me feel like I could actually imagine a more specific taste of the dish

[@lexyny]

Agreed their comments were interesting!

[@jessicameyer8565]

Chard Bear + Chef Caitie = instant classic comedy duo. Fantastic episode! 😂❤

[@mspiperp]

Every episode has been AMAZING!!! A Chef Rhea pop up!? YESSS! 🙌🏾❤️

[@asmrdreamland200]

I love how everyone is so nice and helpful to each other!! Feels like a healthy competition. Love the show !!!❤❤❤❤

[@maxineb9598]

There's being helpful and there's being gushy, gushy over the top. This show brings out the latter.

[@uniquenewyork3325]

​@@maxineb9598 probably because that's how most people act around people they don't know! less scripted shows are a lot like that, I think a camera being in everyone's face adds to it bc nobody wants to be the most hated one in the show

[@carinagatta]

He's a great host!!! GOOD VIBES. Also loved Chef Katie ❤❤❤. This is such a good show, please keep making it!

[@kitchenlife1516]

Stumbled across this a few days ago. I’m am loving it! I enjoy watching cooking competitions, but there not any vegan ones. There was one called It’s Compiplated, but I don’t think it’s on anymore. Please do a season 2!!

[@EFMM79]

The loud background music is distracting. Cool show, will be watching 😊

[@danegoti8r]

Really sad to see Rhea Leave😭😭. She brings a light and vibrancy to the show!

[@katsweeterly2039]

And heat 😂 as a neurodivergent person I would totally pulled a Christian, flustered and shocked at first, without meaning it in a hostile way...

[@heidikamrath1951]

Darn it! I KNEW I shouldn’t be reading the comments while watching the show! You gave it away!

[@cj372fk59]

We need them as a permanent co-host please I'm begging. Very insightful comments about the food and very friendly.

[@consciouscaleb5990]

You should invite Vegan KZbinrs to do this next season! 🔥🔥

[@Fiftynine414]

Are you guys collecting the winning recipes for printing? I’d love them!

[@JeffZ137]

These judges really like the heat in their food. I always cook mild and would fail lol,.

[@gio_isabella]

Why am I crying ! My gosh what a great show

[@VirginiaFeuRosa]

Thank you so much for this show!! Really, really happy to be able to watch a cruelty free cooking competition!!

[@pyperhayden4791]

Amazing show, so happy to have this to watch. Unfortunately the music takes me out of it, it is so loud and overpowering during the critiques and conversational bits :/

[@stefashaler8340]

The clapping takes me out of the show. I totally appreciate a vegan cooking show and I'm grateful for it, but to nitpick, and it's a cultural thing I think, I'm not accustomed to US media and I don't resonate with some things, like bringing in the money aspect and clapping.

[@asmrdreamland200]

Can’t wait for the second season!!! Love this show !!

[@Idamaehoy]

I'm so glad this show exists! All of the food looks amazing!

[@kendrai.304]

this is a very emotional episode, you can tell the host is holding back his tears even. Wowwww! i want to eat all these delicious meals in all of the episodes

[@helenm6732]

A blender at every station is not asking a lot unless you’re manufacturing drama…

[@Edge2177]

Amazing episode loved Chef Katie, her food knowledge is very obvious and appreciated.

[@topvegan]

*Their food

[@quantumelectrodynamics8331]

not in my opinion frfr

[@LoveLakesAndStuff]

I am really enjoying this series. Thanks!!

[@Linnellen]

This show NEEDS more sponsors, it is far to good to not have more resources. 😄 Loved Catie as judge, they should pair up for next season (and have guest judges).

[@Rat__Wife]

Yay new episode!

[@debp7129]

This is awesome! ...but PLEASE turn down the background music

[@DottyDelightful]

I love this show but the music is too loud when they are judging the dishes, it’s really off putting, but I watched it all because it’s the only vegan competition show available and it’s so nice to see it

[@nitttusha5532]

I was waiting for something like this… thank you from the bottom of my heart for this show. ❤

[@asmrdreamland200]

Love the sense of humor!

[@seanryan9769]

Yeah, they need to have a completely stocked station for each chef. That would keep it fair.

[@lornamarie5544]

I do like this show but we need to chill out with the dramatic background music.It’s distracting.

[@nevenmilic4191]

agree. it's a bit too loud. :/

[@TheSnuffy1994]

I love these episodes so much❤❤❤

[@Trisha1165]

I'm loving the series - but Please Please Please reduce, eliminate or lower the volume of the background music. :)

There are plenty of cool things about this show, but the super handsome super nice host is definitely at the top of the list lol

I was so happy to see Bánh Mì Chay on here! That is one of my favorite foods ever. Really great episode

[@cironicholas526]

[@teegee5231]

Loved the theme. Congratulations to all the chefs .

[@kathleenkeene5864]

I'm liking the show a lot, my partner too! The music needs to go though, please and thank you. I think the Great British Bakeoff comment on episode 1 is spot on. Don't try to copy the cutthroat cooking shows, but the more gentle ones!

[@donnagoode708]

Brilliant 👍

[@KubtasticMe]

The drama! This show has such charm, I really like it! Keep them coming!

[@Raven-fx5qm]

This is my fav thing I’ve ever watched

[@ForceFreeTrainergirl06]

This is a commercial sized kitchen but only has one or two blenders in it? Last time someone said they couldn't find a spatula? Talk about not very well equipped.

[@sourdoughsavant22]

Yeah that's too much, this should not have been an issue

[@uniquenewyork3325]

They'll probably have those things more available in the second season since it did create an issue

[@loudboomboom]

That sandwich though!!

[@extropiantranshuman]

I'd do my raw vegan athletic lunch. I hope that they do benot boxes as an episode (who knows - might be pre-planned though. Maybe season 2).

[@prizzle]

Not Rhea getting mad that she was being accused whole time she was the one that actually took the sauce😂😂😂

[@brainiergeckogaming1625]

He literally said: You can use the blender, I'm done with it for now... literally.

[@prizzle]

@@brainiergeckogaming1625 well actually he said that she should let him know when she wants it but it was obviously just miscommunication

[@curtisrobinson7962]

Like he said, he thought she only needed the motor.

[@imacruzangyal]

@@brainiergeckogaming1625t 3:38, he asked her if she just needed the motor and the lid, and she said yes…so I guess he assumed he would still have his sauce in the container part… I think personally (if I remembered) I would just pour out the contents on the blender in a bowl or something when I’m done since the equipment is shared. But when you’re in the moment, it probably doesn’t cross your mind to do that and that something like that incident would happen

[@bethaniejify]

This was so weird. He clearly says he’s done with the blender and she’s free to use it. So to me if you are done with something, you clear it out. Also, who uses just the motor and lid of something. What?

[@checkmate-gz1cm]

so good ! thank youu !

[@raddeejay1971]

My new favorite show!

[@fruity_hannanas5412]

[@kace9075]

finally vegan top chef! been waiting for years!!

[@leviahimsa]

Love this show! ✌️

[@irisleung8819]

Great show, but the background music is too loud and distracting and makes it hard to focus on what people are saying.

[@valp618]

this is a great show!!

[@MOP9509]

Great show. I just don’t think you need music every single second. Especially during the judging portion. Ifs very distracting

[@3dju]

SO GOOOD

[@brainiergeckogaming1625]

Why would he call across the room to let her know she could use the blender and that he was DONE with it for now.... just to be like WHY DID YOU TAKE THE BLENDER?!!!!

[@PinkieJoJo]

Why would she deny taking his sauce when she totally did though as well. Even if he said she could use the blender she should have asked if he needed the sauce in it.

[@rach3vz]

Christian reminds me so much of pizza Pete from the bachelor, only less douchy lol

[@marzenadziuk174]

Great show.... I just hope they would share their recipes 😅

[@gladitsnotme]

He literally said he was done with the blender but he wasn't? Were there a dozen lid-less blender jars that they all had access to? Bc otherwise I can't see how he would think a "blender" is just a base and lid.

[@quantumelectrodynamics8331]

1. Spice level being this large a factor is not an exclusive indicator of good taste profile in food. 2. Only one blender in a kitchen with this many chefs seems rather limiting. 3. Christian hogging the blender and being mad at Rhea when he didn’t empty it after he said he was finished; selfish. just a few my pocket cents.

[@marileepeterson2907]

Are the recipes going to be made available? Oh my goodness!
